Evita Charcoal 10' X 14' Rug

Art silk, also known as viscose, is a premium fiber crafted to emulate the luxurious sheen and soft hand-feel of genuine silk. Because this rug is hand-woven using these specialized fibers, it features a delicate, light-catching luster. This construction creates a sophisticated "floor art" effect that adds contemporary elegance and visual depth to a room's decor.

This rug is specifically designed to add value and aesthetic appeal beneath dining tables or accent furniture. The 0.5-inch pile height is low enough to allow chairs to slide easily while still providing a soft, luxurious feel underfoot. When placing a heavy dining set on a hand-woven rug, we recommend using furniture coasters to distribute weight evenly and protect the delicate art silk weave from permanent indentations.

Yes, some shedding is a common and natural characteristic of hand-woven rugs. This occurs as loose fibers settle within the weave and will dissipate over time with regular use. For best results, our expertise suggests gentle vacuuming without the use of a beater bar. For spills, spot clean immediately with a clean cloth; never place this rug in a washing machine, as excessive water can damage the delicate art silk fibers.

A 10' x 14' rug is an expansive "mansion size" piece designed to anchor grand spaces. In a large living room, this size allows all furniture—sofas, sectionals, and accent chairs—to sit entirely on the rug, creating a unified and upscale look. It is also an ideal choice for a formal dining room, as the 14-foot length provides plenty of clearance for chairs to remain on the rug even when pulled away from a large dining table.

This rug is a contemporary masterpiece designed for aesthetic appeal and comfort. While the charcoal color is excellent for masking minor debris, the hand-woven art silk construction is relatively delicate compared to heavy-duty synthetic blends. To preserve the intricate weave and soft texture, we recommend placing this rug in lower-traffic areas such as a primary bedroom, home office, or a formal sitting room rather than a main entryway.

In humid regions like Florida or the Gulf Coast, it is important to note that viscose is a highly absorbent material. To ensure the longevity of your rug in these climates, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad to facilitate better air circulation. Keeping the rug in a climate-controlled environment will help maintain the charcoal color's vibrancy and prevent the fibers from becoming stiff due to moisture.
